Stalk the Dark

A Vampire King without a heart needs a watcher who guards hers dearly, but I didn’t expect that watcher to be me.

The Order of Helsing have protected the innocent from the Vampire King’s ravenous hunger and cruel games for centuries.

He can’t be killed.

He can’t be stopped.

Because this ancient being has no master.

Once every century he rises from his vampiric sleep to feed, and the Order assigns an operative to watch over him.

This century, I’m that watcher.

I can’t say I’m thrilled. I have a disgust for suckers, so babysitting the first of their kind is not on my to do list. But when the Order says jump, you don’t ask why.

Ezekiel’s cruel beauty makes him the perfect predator, able to reel in his prey with pretty words and promises. Tempering his hunger until he falls back into a vampire coma won’t be easy. Others have tried and failed.

I’m determined to avoid his kill list, and with the help of the two rogue vampire hunters assigned to assist me, I might just succeed.

But the more time I spend with Ezekiel the more I’m drawn to the darkness inside him, because there’s a darkness inside me too. One which I’ve hidden for as long as I can remember. But now that it wants to come out and play, I’m afraid it isn’t just his hunger I’ll need to temper, but also my own.

Debbie Cassidy

In the tangled streets of urban fantasy and the shadowy edges of paranormal romance, Debbie Cassidy has carved out a fiercely imaginative niche—where myths breathe, magic bites, and the heroine always has a blade (or biting comeback) at the ready. With dozens of titles and millions of pages devoured by readers around the world, Cassidy isn’t just prolific; she’s a world-builder with a pulse for pace and a deep affection for the beautifully monstrous.

Raised in Bedfordshire, England, Cassidy didn’t grow up dreaming of dragons and djinn—at least, not out loud. But somewhere between real-life chaos (juggling three kids and a day job) and late-night writing sprints, she started releasing stories that refused to stay tame. Her breakout series, Deadside Reapers, spun a reaper’s tale laced with grit, romance, and ghost-hunting tension, quickly earning her a devoted fanbase. From there, the worlds kept coming: post-apocalyptic Londons teeming with supernatural politics, coastal towns hiding wolf packs, and reverse harem adventures that twisted fate and desire into something both epic and intimate.

Cassidy’s work is driven by sharp heroines who aren’t waiting to be rescued, complex supernatural systems steeped in mythology—from Norse and Hindu to entirely her own—and a tone that swings between heart-wrenching intensity and laugh-out-loud sarcasm. Her characters bleed, grow, and love in equal measure, often while saving the world (or occasionally burning it down).

Writing under both her name and the co-author alias Amos Cassidy (alongside Richard Amos), she has explored everything from vampire hunters to elemental guardians. Yet her stories always circle back to a familiar core: survival, sisterhood, found family, and the electric space where love meets danger.

Never content to follow one path for long, Cassidy's storytelling remains in motion—restless, rich, and undeniably magnetic. Whether you’re stepping into The Nightwatch universe, wandering the Chronicles of Midnight, or falling into the world of The Gatekeeper Chronicles, you’re entering a realm built by someone who knows exactly where the shadows fall—and how to make them dance.
